Precise electromyography testing that reveals what’s really causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms long enough. That tingling in your hands, the weakness in your legs, the shooting pain down your arm – you need real answers, not more guessing.
EMG testing gives you those answers. Within minutes, we can pinpoint exactly where nerve damage is occurring, how severe it is, and what’s causing your symptoms. No more wondering if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something more serious.
The test measures electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, creating a clear picture of what’s functioning normally and what isn’t. You’ll walk out knowing whether your symptoms are from nerve compression, muscle disease, or damage to the nerve pathways themselves. That clarity changes everything about how you move forward with treatment.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving patients throughout northern New Jersey with comprehensive spine and nerve care. We specialize in diagnosing complex nerve and muscle disorders using advanced electromyography and nerve conduction testing.
Located in Lyndhurst, our practice focuses on accurate diagnosis and clear communication with patients about their results. We work closely with referring doctors throughout the area to ensure coordinated care and proper follow-up treatment.
You’re not just getting a test – you’re getting interpretation from specialists who understand what the results mean for your specific situation and quality of life.
The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes are placed on your skin over the nerves being tested. Mild electrical impulses measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are traveling. This part takes about 15-20 minutes and feels like small static shocks.
Next is the EMG portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. You’ll be asked to relax the muscle, then contract it gently. The needle picks up signals that show whether the muscle is getting proper nerve input.
The entire process typically takes 30-45 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. Results are available immediately, and you’ll get a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the discomfort is compared to what they expected.
